Success in Real Estate Begins With Your Attitude

Success in real estate begins with your attitude

Success in real estate is not decided only by the size of your budget or the location of a plot. It starts much earlier, with the attitude you bring to the task. Malik Ashiq Hussain Awan, CEO of Combine Estate and Builders (Pvt) Ltd., the company behind PlotDeals.pk, shares this message with every buyer, seller and investor:

کسی مشکل کام کے آغاز پر ہمارا رویہ ہی، اس کے کامیاب نتائج کو متعین کرتا ہے۔ لہٰذا کامیابی کے نتائج کے بارے میں سوچنا چھوڑ دیں، بلکہ اس بارے میں سوچنا شروع کریں کہ آپ کا سرمایہ کیا کما سکتا ہے۔

In English: our attitude at the start of a difficult task decides how successful its results will be. So stop worrying about the results, and start thinking about what your capital can earn.

What this message means for buyers and investors

Buying or selling property can feel hard. There are many choices, many opinions, and a lot of money at stake. Some people wait for the perfect moment and never begin. Others rush in after hearing one story and skip the checks. The message points to a better way: begin with a calm, careful and positive attitude, and let your plan guide you, instead of fear or hype.

• Start with a clear goal: a home to live in, a property to rent out, or a plot to hold for the long term.
• Stay patient: property usually rewards people who plan and wait, not people who hurry.
• Think about what your capital can earn: not only what it can buy today.

A good attitude does not remove risk. Prices and rents can go up or down, and no one can promise a result. But it helps you ask better questions and make steadier decisions.

Five habits that support success in real estate

1. Learn before you pay. Compare areas, societies and prices per marla in cities such as Kharian, Gujrat and Jhelum. You can also read the current tax rules on the FBR website.
2. Verify the documents. Check ownership, the file or plot status, and the approvals of the society or project before you transfer any money.
3. Set a safe budget. Use money you will not need soon, and keep a cushion for registry, transfer fees, taxes and repairs.
4. Visit the property yourself. Photos help, but a visit shows you the street, the neighbours and the real condition.
5. Think long term. Choose something you can hold comfortably through slow periods, and ask a trusted adviser if you are unsure. For more ideas, read our guide on how to invest money in property in Pakistan.

Mistakes that slow down success in real estate

• Waiting for a perfect time. There is rarely a perfect moment. A careful plan is better than endless waiting.
• Following the crowd. A busy launch is not proof of a good deal. Check the facts yourself.
• Paying on a promise. Never pay before you have seen and checked the documents.
• Putting all your savings in one deal. Keep part of your money free for other needs.
